Hi there, I amb running kvm-88 on and amb64 box. In it I run a Windows 2003R2 box and a Windowss 2008 (both 32 bit). On both I tested multiple "-smp" options (2, 4) and in any case:

• Device Manager shows "Multiprocessor ACPI"
• Devive Manager shows all the CPU in "Processors" (ie, 2 or 4)
• Task Manager shows only one CPU (settings set fine, ie: One graph per CPU).

On the Host, if I run "top" I see only one CPU getting load, so it appears Windows is "seeing" all the CPU but only using one.

The host has 2 Quad Core CPU's.

Given the same happens to the 2003 and 2008 systems I can only assume I've got something wrong in KVM.  My command line is:

/usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc -cpu qemu32 -m 4096 -smp 4 -name vesta -uuid [...] -monitor unix:/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/vesta.monitor,server,nowait -localtime -boot c -drive file=/dev/virtual/vesta-disk,if=ide,index=0,boot=on -drive file=/dev/virtual/vesta-data,if=ide,index=1 -drive file=,if=ide,media=cdrom,index=2 -net nic,macaddr=[...],vlan=0,model=virtio,name=virtio.0 -net tap,fd=19,vlan=0,name=tap.0 -serial pty -parallel none -usb -usbdevice tablet -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 -k es -vga cirrus
 

Anything else (ie, ram) works fine ;\ I am using the paravirt network driver.

Thanks for any help :)
